Multicomponent Reactions Upon the Known Drug Trimethoprim as a Source of Novel Antimicrobial Agents

Novel antibiotic compounds have been prepared through a selective multicomponent reaction upon the known drug Trimethoprim. The Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé reaction involving this α-aminoazine, with a range of aldehydes and isocyanides afforded the desired adducts in one-step. The analogs display mea...
